Best Buy in Fairview Heights, IL broke street on the Phantom Menace
I'm visiting my parents in Southern Illinois for a little while and I went to the Best Buy in Fairview Heights, IL on Tuesday. I was thinking about picking up Snow White, when I noticed the Phantom Menace on their shelves....they only had about 15 copies of it out, and it was in the action section I think (not the sci-fi/horror section.) I picked it up at $22.95, and then on next Tuesday I'm going to take my receipt in and have them give me the difference plus 10%. If they give me any problems I'll just tell them they can be fined for breaking street date and see what happens. Anyway, just a heads-up to anyone that might want to pick it up early.

This is the Best Buy closest to me. I bet if I drive there, they'll all be gone. I know what answer I'll get if I call and ask if they have any. I've got enough new movies to hold me off until Tuesday.

How exactly does that make me a bad person in your eyes? Think about things before you post them.

If it was there, it's not anymore. I scoured their selection and I either was mentally screening it out or they've taken it off the shelves/it's sold out.
I also checked Circuit City & it wasn't there. This was at about 5:30.

I did think about this before I posted it. I stand by my original assessment.

I somehow doubt Best Buy really cares if you threaten them with this. They'll find some way around it.....this is you against a big company. Like in that Julia Roberts movie with the wonderbra.
